Walking Works Wonders hosts a weekly health walk suitable for all ages. The walk makes up one of a network of health walks across South Tyneside and Newcastle accredited to Natural England’s walking for health initiative.
The walk in Newcastle now has 12 routes taking in aspects of Newcastle’s past and present following routes along the quayside, walls, parks, city centre and bridges. History and architectural points of interest are also included and walks last no more than one hour or three miles in length.
Walking project officer Fred Baines commented “walks are diverse and appeal to a wide range of people from all different walks of life. We now average 20 -25 each week but have accommodated over 150 individuals since it started over two years ago.”
The walk finishes with a cup of tea and a chat at St. Nicolas’ church, Grainger Market, the library or the newly opened café in Exhibition Park.
